Brighton Rock

As you may have heard, they have remade Brighton Rock, the old film based on the Graham Greene novel. It is now set in the 60s against the mods and the rockers doing their thing. Rather shockingly, bits of it were filmed in Eastbourne as it was cheaper than giving actual Brighton a CGI make over.

The premier was last Friday at the Duke of Yorks and was attended by the director and some of the stars. It is out at the cinemas from Friday the 4th Feb.
